Description I can't believe I haven't uploaded a photo of this project yet, it was one of the highlights of Fanime!

Lionel and I had planned another cyberpunk costume for Fanime 2010 for a while, and compiled several ideas which ended up with a cyberpunk, Dragon's Heaven costume with some Ghost in the Shell influences. Dragon's Heaven is an old school, kind of obscure anime with gorgeous artwork and a futuristic story, and much of the costume's GITS looks are pretty noticeable.
Lionel made the bulk of the costume and all the accessories, I provided the wig and shoes. Dressing as a sexy future cop is quite a bit of fun! So many thanks to Lionel for designing it and getting this shoot put together. If you notice, we used the same car garage as for last year's cyberdiver shoot ^^

You're welcome x2!

Zillions of years ago my best friend said "Admit it! Your problem is that at the very end you hope to find a girlfriend like Motoko Kusanagi!" And let's be honest. Come one. They don't exist!

Zillions of years later I can say "Thanks God for Cosplay and Deviantart"

They were custom made by Lionel Lum, they're not something you can get mainstream (that I'm aware of).

Maybe it's the hair, maybe it's the red glove, maybe it's the white shirt, maybe it's the pose, but for some reason, I'm reminded strongly of Mirror's Edge.

Great picture, neat job with the visor, I like the glowing on it. Hard to see?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

etaru In reply to DaveLuck [2010-07-21 19:20:05 +0000 UTC]

The visor is actually my favorite part! Lionel made the glow a lot more visible than the last one, and it's more comfortable for me to wear - but zero vision. I basically gotta pose how I feel most comfortable and listen to the instructions from the photographers of how to move my body.

Cyberpunk is just an awesome genre. Style over substance as it's motto gives for some damn cool outfits that it makes
This one is in particular cool and damn must be some good grips on those shoes hehe

Naw, they have next to no traction on the rubber soles anymore lol I just had to use the strength of my legs to hold myself up (I did something like this last year too, and it was hell of a lot worse in short pumps XD)

rudeturk In reply to etaru [2010-07-22 00:49:46 +0000 UTC]

I have to say, damn good legs there. Form and function

I can only imagine in pumps, not something I would wear though

Thank you ^^ I had the idea to do this pose again from the white cyberpunk outfit - in the same garage - but it still seems to have its own uniqueness.

You gotta admit that outfits for women when it comes to certain cosplays are easier to come up with as opposed to guys wouldn't you say?

It was a very short anime, out in 1988 (there was a manga too, I think? That was the artwork I saw and loved)
